It’s not quite the amazing six A finalists like last year, but Texas went two up, two down as Joseph Schooling led men’s 100-yard fly qualifying at the 2016 NCAA Division I Men’s Championships.

Schooling posted the 10th-fastest time ever in the event with a 44.68. That’s just half-a-second off Austin Staab’s 2009 NCAA record of 44.18 set for Stanford.

Schooling, the defending champion in the event with a 44.51 from last year, could become yet another two-time winner in the event.  The sophomore also could keep himself in play to join Texas’ Ian Crocker, Stanford’s Pablo Morales and Indiana’s Mark Spitz for a career 100 fly sweep.

Florida’s Caeleb Dressel, who already stunned the world with an 18.20 yesterday in the 50 free as well as the most astounding fun of consistently fast 50 frees ever, qualified second in 45.00.  That’s not far off his personal best of 44.80 from SECs last month.

Alabama’s Lucas Kaliszak raced his way to the third seed with a 45.18, while Ohio State’s Matt McHugh qualified fourth in 45.35.

Texas’ Jack Conger (45.55), Michigan’s Dylan Bosch (45.64), Cleveland State’s Philipp Sikatzki (45.65) and Georgia’s Pace Clark (45.66) also put up top eight seeded times.
